strawberry and angel begonia plants


Question
I have problems in growing these plants please help I have them in my bay window they get some sun light how often should I water them .they angel wing is growing should I water it once a week or what.

Answer
Bernice,

You should water them when the surface of the soil feels dry. An hour after watering you should empty the drain tray under the plant so the plant is not sitting in a tray full of water. This time of year it may not be once a week, it may be every 10-14 days. The shorter days of winter make  plants use less water. During the summer if you may need to water every 2-3 days especially if the plants are outside in a sunny location. The angel wing begonia loves as much sun as it can possibly get.  The strawberry  begonia needs the same when it comes to water but it doesn't like quite as much sun as the angel wing begonia does. Good luck.
